Tailwind looks bad on "paper". It violates a lot of "best practices". It is ugly. Yet in reality it works. It gets the job done. It is fast to work with. Constraints are known to e…

For me the value of Garmin (Forerunner) is their proprietary algorithm for calculating Stress Level from HRV. It is the basis for the Body Battery measure. I find it useful to see …

Compare the fuel pump of a Jumbojet and of a car. Is the smaller one a micro-pump? No, they are both pumps. Any "micro service" is just a service. Ref: Juval Löwy

Pros: Effect has explicit errors, and dependency management that gives an awesome DX. I also like the two-way Schemas. Cons: The API surface is huge so there is a steep learning cu…

I work even if I have a cold. Luckily I never had symptoms of flue. I was down with Epstein-Barr/mononucleosis for 12-14 days in 2004, and then I stayed home (home from PhD studies…

I'm Norwegian. I have not taken a single day of sick leave (M51). I believe that if I get sick, it is my fault and responsibility, and I should not burden the employer or public se…

This is a nice movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8885658/ (Enrico Piaggio - Un sogno italiano)

Charlie Munger thought of exercise as adding mileage to the car.

I remember that a friend told that the Nintendo Wii Balance board gave her the weight on gram resolution. Which is 10-100x better than most commercial bathroom scales. But keep in …

A silly question (from a non-HW guy). Why are digital bathroom scales so coarse? Some have a weight resolution of +/- 500 grams. Would a better microcontroller make a weight faster…

Hey. The "Prefer reduced motion" actually works. Neat. However I am concerned that it may affect and mess up other things.

Good idea with the Zapper. It works for pages with an URL, but when opening a new tab there is no webpage to "zap", just the Google Doodle. My solution now: Switch to other search …

Thanks. Good idea. This is the easiest change to do while the World Cup lasts.

Thanks. I have uBlock. But it looks like with the latest Chrome it does not block

The animated Google doodles that appear when I open an new browser tab in Chrome is distracting. The Doodle is soccer/World cup animation. I want it to not animate.
